Brief Summary
The primary objective of QUALIPLAST is to evaluate the impact of plastic and aesthetic surgery interventions on patients' self-esteem. While the demand for these procedures is steadily increasing worldwide, patients' motivations often extend beyond purely aesthetic concerns, encompassing significant psychological and emotional expectations. However, despite the growing popularity of these interventions, scientific literature remains limited when it comes to the systematic and long-term evaluation of their effects on patients' self-esteem and overall well-being. The majority of existing studies focus on short-term outcomes or functional and physical aspects, often overlooking the psychological and emotional dimensions that play a crucial role in post-operative satisfaction. Furthermore, much research is limited to specific procedures, without adopting a comprehensive approach to plastic and aesthetic surgery. This lack of robust and generalisable data hinders a full understanding of how these interventions influence self-esteem across different types of surgeries and patient profiles. QUALIPLAST stands out due to its multicentric, prospective, and large-scale nature, involving a wide range of procedures and collecting longitudinal data before the intervention, as well as at 3 and 12 months post-operatively. It will allow for the observation of self-esteem changes over time, providing a more complete and nuanced understanding of the effects of surgery. This project relies on standardized and validated measurement tools, such as the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, to ensure the reliability and comparability of the results. By addressing the current gaps in the literature, QUALIPLAST aims not only to enrich scientific knowledge in this field but also to provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals to improve patient care and tailor clinical practices based on the identified psychological needs.
